You can use a newer version of the driver that I zipped up and attached below.
Unzip and copy all of the files in the folder in the attachment to a USB flash drive.
Have the flash drive and your Windows installation media plugged into USB ports.
Boot from the Windows installation flash drive.
When you get to the screen where no drives can be found, click on the Load driver option, browse to the flash drive with the storage controller drivers on it.
If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
If Windows still can't find the drive, uncheck the box to include the compatible driver and try any of the ones listed.
Click Next, and Windows should install.

Have you tried the driver from your notebook's support page?
HP Pavilion Laptop 15-eg0070wm Software and Driver Details
You have to use the free 7-Zip file utility to extract the exe file into a driver folder so you can browse to the storage driver files.
Another thing you can try is to use the HP cloud recovery tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall the original HP factory software image that came with your notebook.
That should already include the storage controller drivers for Windows to find the drive.
Here is an info link for how to use the utility. You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive for this:

You can download the software from the Microsoft Store;
HP Cloud Recovery Tool - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store
If you have to use the tool on another PC, you will have to enter your notebook's product number in the tool's search window in order to proceed.
